Debian :: Not Shutting Down Gracefully?
Aug 21, 2011
So, I installed debian and everything is nice, only one minor problem I haven't been able to solve is I think when I shutdown the computer running applications are being killled instead of terminated gracefully (if I open iceweasel, open a few tabs, close it and open it again only the homepage is opened, but if I open iceweasel, shutdown the computer, boot it and run iceweasel all the tabs are opened again, the same happens if iceweasel crashes).
I'm using debian version 6.0.2.1, a default install and no major configuration changes was done, I'm shutting down via gnome control-alt-del - shutdown.
Any help?

About a year ago, I decided to remove the battery of my laptop when no mobility were required and the machine could use A/C, in order to --supposedly-- extend the battery's life.The system has suffered a couple of improper shutting downs within this year and, despite no important information was lost and I have not noticed a single problem, I don't know what to do after one. Yesterday, while I was testing some hard disk checking tools, I noticed that there was a damaged sector on the disk. Is it a result of these improper shutting downs? Should I force a file system check after one? Does the system performs a file system check when the error is critical? Should I check the lost+found directory after an improper shutting down --it's empty, by the way?What's the recommended way to proceed after an improper shutting down?

I would like a program that will auto shutdown my Linux machine when it detects low power or X amount of minutes remaining on UPS. I don't have NIC's in my UPS's so that's why I am asking... Not even sure it is possible for the Linux machine to detect when it switches to AUX power.

I am using a program that reads in data from a serial port and then sends that data out over a TCP connection. The problem I'm having is that the only way I know to exit the program is to do a 'kill PID', but doing this means the program doesn't go through the motions of closing the TCP connection properly so I have to wait some random period of time for the port to free itself or else when I try to start it back up it tells me that it can't bind to the specified port.The general structure of the program is as follows
Code:
int main(){
// initialize some stuff
[code]...

I have a strange problem on my system. When I turn off printer, system hang. Gdm/X exit and I can see a terminal screen with a lot of info (but I can not capture it, except taking a photo). I must press reset button. It's not all times, but at least 50% I shutdown printer. I was looking logs and I can not see any relevant. Maybe this (copy some sections of /var/log/messages, remove other not revelant):
Jul 7 19:43:34 dcr64 kernel: [341172.052076] usb 1-8: new high speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd
Jul 7 19:43:34 dcr64 kernel: [341172.185255] usb 1-8: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=4412
Jul 7 19:43:34 dcr64 kernel: [341172.185260] usb 1-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[Code]...
Sometimes I turn on printer to get a photocopy and turn off later, and system hand, so, it's not necesary to print or scan to get this error.

I tried shutting down from terminal as opposed to KMenu and the shutdown hung without completing. I did a 'hard' shutdown mechanically.The command I used was: # shutdown -a -t 5secs now
Is there a way to correct this?

My laptop is frequently shutting down while using Google Earth 7.1.2.2041-r0. It uses 100% CPU, but only on one CPU core, and the problem happens at random.
I don't believe it is related to the CPU temperature, because I created a script that saves the current temperature every two seconds, so when the system shuts down I can see the last, and the highest I got from all the times was 62 °C, while the average from all the times it shut down was 57 °C from /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp*_input and 51 °C from /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp and /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input. From my research, I understand that coretemp-0 is the temperature of the CPU itself, while the others (acpitz-virtual-0) are from underneath the base of the CPU.
The files under /sys and the command `sensors' tell me that only 80° would trigger a shutdown. I bought this laptop in 2013, and I have never seen it go beyond 6-°C:
Code: Select allsensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:    +41.0°C (crit = +104.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:    +48.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 2:    +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
I have done a simple stress test by running `cat /dev/zero >/dev/null' on 8 terminals, together with `glxgears' and `supertuxkart' for half an hour, and my system did not shutdown, neither the temperature went beyond 6-°C. The HD temperature lives around 42 °C, according to `sudo smartctl -l scttemp /dev/sda'.
The output from `inxi -F':

I have machine which I am using a server for all my office activities. We have fedora (11.0) installed in that system. When even power goes out system is getting shut-down abruptly. We have UPS for this system and some times UPS also runs out of power. Do we have any software, which monitors battery power and shutdown the system gracefully, when system knows that power is running out. I am using desktop machine, not a laptop. So I may some hardware like battery which runs fot sometime, even though there is no power. Then there will software which monitors and shut down the system gracfully.

I am running Debian Testing (Squeeze). I have just one problem... It always shows "mount: / is busy" message while shutting down and/or rebooting, though it halts soon thereafter. Is this error message fatal, will it cause any problem in future? If so, is there any quick fix?Here are few details of my system settings:
fstab:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

I've installed Edubuntu 11.04 on an Intel Classmate PC but it is shutting down by itself for no apparent reason. Can I find a log file anywhere that might give me a clue what is causing it?

i glad i switched, but still have lots to learn. Any who, currently i am working on a server for some residents at my current job. I have DNS and everything setup right and it is working. Samba on the other hand is configured right but it keeps shutting down after about a minute. When i run this command:
chksmb status
it says "Dead". Ill restart the service(rcsmb start), and keep checking the status, and after about a minute it shuts down again. I have done a restart, double checked my configurations and still cant find why this is happening. (config file somewhere?)

I have a laptop here with win 7 and decided to dual boot with ubuntu just for fun. Win 7 starts up, works, and shutdown/restarts fine. Ubuntu starts up, works great, but freezes at the splash screen showing "Ubuntu" with the bar scrolling when logging off to restart. Please help. I dont think holding down the power button to turn it off is too good. i searched google but found nothing =/
Edit: Shutting off works fine now... its just the restarting problem

Suse 11.1 opera 10. When I shut down opera browser I assume it should shut down completely? Infact sometimes it does, but often it just goes to sleep (futex_wait). Any way to make it shutdown/kill itself every time ???

I have some heavy, long processes running on remote Linux machines. I use my laptop to SSH to these machine and run the processes from my couch.
BUT, when I want to shutdown my laptop, I am in trouble since the remote processes are killed.
I did my research and found out that "screen" is a great solution for me, it is! (As long as I don't SHUTDOWN my laptop). Isn't there a way to "persist" the "screen" sessions so I can shut it down and then re-attach to a session?

My computer saves it's state when shutting down. So when I boot back up, all the applications I had running boot again. I HATE THAT. When I shut it down, I want everything GONE on next boot up. How do I fix this?

What is the best way to disable start up sounds? I hate being in a quiet place and having the start up sound go off on my computer. I've tried muting before shutting down and that works 40% of the time when i start up again. I do dual boot os, so will changing something in Ubuntu mess with mint or vice versa?

I recently had an OS system crash..WIndows XP. Purchased a new hard drive and installed Ubuntu 10.04. Everything installed as expected, however my CPU fan seems to be louder than usual. I did clean the fan and heat sink, but still running very loudly or fast I guess you could say. Also sometimes the PC shuts down when I try to open FireFox. Any ideas on what could be happening. This is an older machine using an Intel Celeron processor. Not sure of the speed, but I could look at the bios if that is needed.

Prior to this version of ubuntu my laptop (an old P4 gateway) shut down just fine. It acted fine in windows xp, and ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04. Starting with my first shutdown after upgrading to maverick (as opposed to a fresh install, which is what I've done for every time I went to the new version before this), it just reboots the computer instead of shutting down.I've tried clicking the icon in the corner, I've tried pushing the power button and clicking shutdown on that screen, I've even tried shutting down from the command prompt, but each of these just reboots the computer.

10.10 notice that when I shut down either Rhythmbox or Banshee the music keeps on playing. There are no icons on the top or bottom panels that I could right click and quit. At the moment I go System, Admin, System Monitor and kill the process - but this is surely not the way to shut down these apps. The Close box in these apps are not closing down the app.
